Nyasa Big Bullets of Malawi have taken a firm stance after rejecting Simba’s request to take 21-year-old winger Chikumbutso Salima on a two-week trial.
The decision comes after Simba expressed interest in closely assessing the young winger before making a direct move to sign him during the current mini transfer window.
According to information from Nyasa Big Bullets, the club’s management has stated that they are not willing to release their player for trials, but are open to a direct transfer should Simba be ready to meet the full transfer conditions.
This stance has been described as part of the club’s policy when it comes to selling key players.
Chikumbutso has been in fine form in the Malawi Premier League, scoring 14 goals, a performance that has attracted interest from several clubs across Africa.
His pace, dribbling ability, and contribution to goal scoring are among the qualities that have made Simba view him as the right option to strengthen their attacking line.
However, the player’s management is continuing efforts to persuade Nyasa Big Bullets to allow the winger to go on a short trial before the mini transfer window closes.
The management believes that such a trial would give the player an opportunity to showcase his abilities while also increasing his market value.
On Simba’s side, reports indicate that the club’s leadership is still conducting a thorough evaluation to decide whether to enter negotiations for a direct transfer or abandon the deal altogether due to the conditions set by Nyasa Big Bullets.
Nyasa Big Bullets, for their part, believe that Chikumbutso is a key part of their plans, which is why they are reluctant to let him leave without receiving compensation that matches his value.
